$$PATH *will* have a new strfile in /usr/bin built at build-tools
time, unless you defined NOTOOLS.
If you defined NOTOOLS and it breaks for you, don't do that.
If you did not define NOTOOLS but things are not working, the error is
elsewhere. See logs for src/Makefine.inc1, particularly rev 1.36, and
revision 1.14 of this file.

Reverse the way $PATH is extended, so if the person building that area

has /usr/games in its $PATH, where /usr/games/strfile doesn't grok an
option that the newly built one inside /usr/obj would grok, the build
process would be able to complete.
